Words! Meme
Reply to this meme by yelling "words!", and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you. Keep in mind that if I don't know you that well, your words might end up kind of esoteric/oblique.

Art: Same as below, I love art. To make it myself and to see what others come up with!
Kitty: Love cats, and my cat in particular. Sorry for spamming all your friendslists with cat-related posts! ;)
Languages: I really do enjoy linguistics. I am trilingual at the moment (Swedish, English, Japanese)... but hope to learn more in the future. )I did study Spanish for quite a while. But due to bad teaching/teachers I lost faith in my own abilities and now I have forgotten most of what I learnt. Also, when I try to think in Spanish - all I get is Japanese now! O _ o
Tattoo: I got my first tattoo in October 2008. Not sure if/when I will get any more but I sure liked the experience. And I am so happy with how my tattoo came out! I also like to design tattoos for others.
Sweets: Hmm... I like sweets. Trying not to over-indulge at the moment though. ;) But I also enjoy tryings sweets from different cultures, and looking at them as small pieces of art.

Japan: I guess this is the obvious choice since I just came home from there and wrote quite alot in my journal of what it was like to live there, hehe. I still think about Japan on a daily basis. I miss it alot, but I am also comfortable here. Going to Japan and learning Japanese was my dream for so many years. And now I fulfilled it so I guess I'm feeling the aftermath of fulfilling a dream right now. I can't believe one whole year passed by so quickly! I want to go back many more times though. Anf I also want keep on working on my Japanese so that I will get better at writing and reading the language.
Art: This is another thing about me that is hard to pass by. I love art, and I guess many people define me by it even if I have many more sides. But to be fair I spend alot of time drawing, painting - just creating things by myself. I also enjoy looking at what other people create and fill my days with small wonders.
Travel: I love to travel. My goal at the moment is to visit all continents and preferably several countries on each one. So far I have been to eleven countries in Europe, Africa and Asia.
Cats: A little obsessed with our kitten at the moment. But how could I not be? I guess I have always liked cats though... this also brings back the memory of the furry Mirre character.
Summer: I enjoy the summertime alot (how could you not if you are from Sweden?), though there are some things about it that also bothers me. I can't tan - I just burn, it's often too hot to be comfortable, and I seem to attract mosquitos and wasps (the latter which I have a slight phobia of due to an accident as a child). I feel more like an Autumn person to be honest.

Blue: My favourite colour! I like to surround myself in blue hues as they make me feel calm but sharp and creative. My room is pretty much all blue, and it's a colour that goes well with my complexion (red not so much).
Watercolor: I consider watercolour to be the one media except for pencils that I actually handle quite well. Which is why I wrote that tutorial on it.
Keys: My favourite symbol! I am always on the lookout for silvery keys. And since I got that tattoo I guess the connection was made more obvious, haha. I like keys as the symbol of opening doors to new possibilities and to lock evil away. Keys are so mysterious, I always think about where they could lead. My favourite keys are the ones that look really antique - not necessarily very ornate though.
Japan Again with the obvious. Quite funny that I got this two times though. I like that people can tell that I like Japan. I guess this also means that my entries about living there were read and remembered!
Pixels: I really like pixelart and games with pixelart in them. I guess I have always been fascinated by miniscule things, pixels just being one among many. I also draw very small, and it took me years to learn how to draw big enough to fill an A4!

Brown: I like brown, especially the darker tones. It makes me feel warm and calm inside. I guess it's one of the colours that I use the most except for blue. When drawing, I like to tone this off with reds, purples or blues.
Foliage: Not sure why it's associated with me. But I have a fondness for taking photographs of flowers, gardens, forests and such. I just wish I could draw those things better as well.
Temporary: Feels like I word I could associate with myself. I like change, I need change and to change myself to grow and feel good. I like dreaming, travelling, action, surprises, adventure, to try new things and mysteries. But I always want to have that solid, permanent, ground to fall back to afterwards.
Edible: I love cooking and baking. People who don't know me IRL might not be aware of this! But I am actually quite good in the kitchen. I like trying out new recipes and try new and/or exotic foods. I like the fact that I can cook a meal for my friends and family and make my own recipes. It must have been (at least partially) because of my parents, since they have always encouraged me and my brother to try new foods. And they, too, like to be in the kitchen and inviting friends over for dinner.
Integration: I guess, this is also something that I am good at. I like combining stuff and also help people work together. This word can be interpreted in so many ways though.
